Column: The Media Are Egotistical Exaggerators and Liars
The 2024 presidential campaign is ending pretty much where it began: loathing the never-ending presence of Donald Trump. On the day before the election, The New York Times front page displayed a gaudy editorial (disguised as “News Analysis”) under the title “Torrent of Lies Redefines Political Norms.” Doesn’t that sound like a hard-charging rerun of 2016?
NY Times Front Page Probes Trump Mental Decline After Ignoring Biden
After years of politely ignoring President Joe Biden’s mental decline, the New York Times suddenly puts Donald Trump under its metaphorical MRI a month before election, while shrugging off concerns about the actual man supposedly in the White House and running the country, Democrat Joe Biden. The off-lead story in Monday’s paper was headlined “Trump Reignites Question of Age With…
Reporters Concede Sloth on Biden's Age: We Need to Do 'Soul-Searching'
Fox News media reporter Joseph Wulfsohn found a confessional tone among liberal national reporters at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin as they assessed how they under-covered President Biden’s age and cognitive decline. New York Times reporter Peter Baker suggested journalists broadly need to do some "soul-searching" on how they handled it
NY Times Blames Trump for Attempt on His Life: ‘Anger Stirred by Him’
The second assassination attempt at Donald Trump is somehow Trump's fault, according to New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker. He led his latest piece with the “dogs and cats” claim to hint to his readers that Trump’s rhetoric on Haitian immigrants was responsible for the attempt, not the non-stop vilification of Trump by liberals.
PBS Panel Defends Harris From Racist Attacks While Mocking J.D. Vance
It was the best of worlds for Democrats on Friday’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, as the entire panel of liberal journalists defended vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris from (let’s say it altogether) racist and sexist attacks, while ridiculing the debut of Donald Trump’s own VP pick, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio. Before ridiculing Trump’s vice-…
Column: Beware When Leftist Journalists Use Founders to Attack Trump
When the elected Democrat D.A. of Manhattan and his 12 (likely Democrat) Manhattan jurors convicted Donald Trump on artificially inflated felony counts of business accounting, you could count on leftist journalists to try to make it the Most Historic Event Ever. We’re not even sure it won’t all be reversed on appeal!
NY Times Loves New Spin: 'Convicted Felon' Trump vs. Statesman Biden
In Saturday’s front-page story by New York Times White House reporter Peter Baker on the aftermath of the Trump trial in Manhattan, Baker relished the contrast between Biden and the “felon” Trump, while fiercely defending the Democratic president against allegations his administration had anything to do with the former president’s prosecution.
Never mind the presence of…
Everyone Laugh at Team Biden Hating NYT for Not Being Liberal Enough
In need of a laugh? Check out this unintentionally comical story running 3,850 words from Thursday in Politico about the Biden regime’s apparently disgust with The New York Times: “The Petty Feud Between the NYT and the White House; Biden’s people think they’re ‘entitled.’ The Times says ‘they’re not being realistic.’” In short, Politico’s Eli Stokols revealed the…
Heinrich Fights KJP on Border as WH’s Sullivan Rips Pro-Hamas Reporter
During Tuesday’s White House press briefing featuring the ever-inept Press Secretary. Karine Jean-Pierre, and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich dropped the jackhammer on President Biden declaring Hungary a dictatorship, the Biden border crisis, and Biden now touting Hamas-approved statistics on the war in Gaza. Elsewhere, Bloomberg and ABC reporters questioned both…
NYT Blames GOP for SOTU Speech Discord -- But Dems Started It vs. Bush
An interactive slide show posted to the New York Times site on Wednesday, the day before President Biden’s State of the Union address, “How the State of the Union Became a Picture of Disunion,” relayed a fake history of partisan scrapping at recent State of the Union addresses suggesting Republicans were almost wholly responsible. But Baker completely skipped over the start of the…
Here Were the Most BITING Briefing Questions on the Lloyd Austin Saga
As we’ve seen throughout the Biden administration when the liberal press choose to bring the heat during White House press briefings, it’s usually only good for a day or two before they fall in line. Worse yet in the case of ABC, CBS, and NBC, we almost never see probing questions and/or tense exchanges surface on their flagship morning and evening newscasts. On cue, that happened on Tuesday…
FLASHBACK: Media’s 10 Tackiest Attacks on George H. W. Bush
Five years ago this week, former President George H. W. Bush passed away at the age of 94. The media’s 2018 retrospectives of Bush and his presidency are an example of how liberal journalists can be like prehistoric bugs stuck in amber, frozen in biased poses struck decades earlier, regardless of how thoroughly they’ve been debunked.
NY Times Reporter Cries 'Whataboutism From Trump World' on Biden Bucks
New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker issued a “news analysis” downplaying the corruption accusations against President Biden and his son Hunter, while denigrating Republicans and conservative media for daring to suggest the cases were in any way comparable, in Thursday’s “In the Court of Public Opinion, Trump Relies on a Whataboutism Defense.”
IRONY: MSNBC Gloats Over Hillary 'Smiling' At New Trump Indictment
With the Thursday news that former President Trump now faces an additional charge of obstruction of justice related the deletion of security camera footage, the cast of MSNBC’s The 11th Hour with Stephanie Ruhle managed to completely miss the point as they basked in the news that Trump is now charged with the very thing he condemned Hillary Clinton for.
